What is Otoplasty?
Otoplasty is a surgical procedure to reshape the ears, most commonly to pin back protruding ears closer to the head. It can also correct ear asymmetry, reduce overly large ears (macrotia), or repair damaged earlobes. Results are permanent.
What to Know Before You Go
Pro Tip:
Otoplasty can be performed on children from age 5–6 when ear development is nearly complete. Early correction prevents potential bullying and boosts confidence.
Insider Note:
Results are permanent, but avoid sleeping on your ears for 6 weeks post-surgery to ensure optimal healing. Wear the protective headband as instructed.
